My Grandma........("Paw-Paw")...........................

............and Caitlyn's Great-Grandma ("Bach Bach")



My grandma was so happy to meet her newest great-grand child. The gleam on her face was priceless!


The trip to NYC was great. Unfortunately, my grandma fell and broke her wrist, but she's okay now. She has a soft cast and I think today will get a hard cast. In a way, I'm glad she we were there when she fell but I wish she didn't fall at all! We took her to Emergent Care near Flushing to ensure proper care because ERs in NYC doesn't really consider a broken wrist as an emergency and if we did go there we'd be there for the whole day!

This was Caitlyn's reaction to her first trip to NYC.........................








Miranda seemed to enjoy her 3rd trip to NYC although I noticed she was a bit more sensitive and latching on to my mom and her dad more this time. Her great grandma enjoyed seeing Miranda again too, although Miranda didn't want to take a picture with her great grandma








this is my second cousin, Asprey (in Chinese tradition, she'd be considered a niece). She's about 11 mo YOUNGER than Miranda. My, how mature they both look!!!!












And finally, here's a picture of part of the family enjoying a dinner at our favorite restaurant in NJ (where my aunt and uncle lives and their family). I couldn't get the whole crew together because they were all busy eating and I'm not in the picture either since I was the one taking the picture.



Overall, our trip was wonderful. It was great to see family again and to spend time with them. It was also good to have a vacation and enjoy some time off from work! Tomorrow, it's back to work for me! We got in yesterday around 7:30pm. I already scheduled myself to be off today because I knew that we'd get in "late" and I really need a day in between vacation and work before I actually start back up again!

Decision, Goodbyes, True Healer

  EIGHT  MONTHS---REALLY? I n many ways, I can barely grasp that I have been on this chemo medication for 8 months already.   This means, I   had 9 visits with the oncologists, 9 blood draws,   4 ECHOs, 4 EKGS, 3 neuro-ophthalmology exams,   and 3 MRIs (related to my chemo drug—it includes initial baseline check, one in May, and one just recently on August 25 th which went much smoother).   I actually had a 4 th one but it’s unrelated to the chemo drug, but still related to my disorder).      If you remember from my previous posts, the chemo meds has been really hard on my body; there were so many times I really wondered how much longer I could endure the “fire” on my scalp, or the pain in my legs.    Back in July, the pain in my scalp, face started to get extremely bad.   After completing my 21 day cycle/28 day cycle, we noticed that even with my usual scheduled one-week break from the medication, my sores continued t...

Thankful for Pastors in our Midst----

It's past 2:45 AM and I'm still awake. I've been awake since 9a.m. without any naps which is unusual for me. I've been in my bed since 11pm and I can't seem to shut my mind off.  There's so much going on in my heart and my mind that I can't seem to just "turn off"  It has relatively little to do with the amount of physical pain I'm in tonight nor does it have little to do with upcoming medical procedures.  I just have a lot on my mind.  Some good things; some sad things; so praiseworthy things, some heart wrenching things, etc. Today for all you VA folks, know how blistering cold it was today; I have to be extra careful about not getting sick due to my low immunity; plus with my horrible pain scale today, I just couldn't make it to church.  I wanted to make it to either the early morning service or the Thanksgiving service my church had to night combined with the formal Installation Service of the official (should I say "dubbing??...

In My Need I Seek Your Help.......

There hasn’t been a huge change in things regarding my health since my last update/blog post.    My pain management doctor has tried a different form of non-steroid/non medication injection (for my abdominal pain) that seems to help some (to be explained later in the post).   It may need to take a few tries to see if this treatment works; that is, if I decide if I want to continue this kind of treatment.   As for my head pain and neck pain, my neurologist is doing all he can for now with medication therapy; and working along with my pain management doctor who is holding off other forms of treatment until he can slow down things with my abdominal pain.   In the meantime, I get some relief by going to my chiropractor/kinetic energy doctor in town.   I continue to be grateful for the doctors I have –those who are not giving up on me and trying very hard to try to find a solution to the cause of all this pain.   So far, my pain man...
